Democratic Republic of the Congo: Over 50 members of Kamwina Nsapu militia killed in clashes by army

Democratic Republic of Congo’s army has killed over 50 members of the Kamwina Nsapu militia in the centre of the country who were seeking to avenge the death of their leader, an opposition politician and an activist from the area say.

Hundreds have died and tens of thousands have been uprooted in central Congo in recent months in battles between security forces and the militia, whose leader Kamwina Nsapu died last August.
